October Wedding

AG alterations was recommended to me by Leora Bridal. At my first fitting Aksinia quickly knew exactly where to nip & tuck. I was in & out within 15-20 minutes. At my second fitting my dress fit perfectly!! She reminded me to try it on a few weeks before my wedding & let her know if anything changed, but nothing did, it still fit like a glove. She was also able to make me some scrunchies from leftover material from my dress which I gave to my bridesmaids. Overall, I had such a great experience at AG Alterations & would highly recommend you bring your dress here!

The best alterations shop in Virginia!

I'm a local wedding planner and the owner of When Hearts Unite and I'm always referring my bride's to AG Alterations. It was finally my turn to get married and I knew that I could trust Aksinia to get my dress perfect. I bought my dress online so I was prepared for it to need alterations, but it was way bigger and had a deeper plunge than I expected. During my consultation, Aksinia took a few scrap pieces of lace from the desk and pinned it to the plunge, pinned it where it needed to be taken in and I was out of there within 10 minutes. When I came back to try it on after the alterations my dress was better than I could have ever imagined! The lace she added to the plunge V neck matched perfectly and looked like it had been made that way. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and I am so grateful for AG Alterations for making that possible!

Very talented!

I bought my wedding gown from Tiffany’s bridal & they recommended AG ALTERATIONS. I got my dress off the rack so there were a few things that needed attention and a a lot of fabric to be taken off & Aksinia Made magic happen! She knows what she’s doing & it was done in such a timely manner! I would recommend her to anyone!

Wedding dress and rehearsal dinner dress

I had both my wedding gown and rehearsal dinner dress done here. Both turned out amazing. Very fair pricing and great results. I now get all of my formal dresses altered here. I do wish there was a formal website as I am a classic millennial who is afraid of phone calls haha.

You want her to alter your dress

Aksinia is the person you want to alter your beautiful wedding dress!! I bought my dress a year out from my wedding when I was 4 months postpartum...when it came in in June it fit like a glove! Fast forward to September, I had lost so much baby weight and she worked with my constantly changing body! I had 3 total appointments with her to make sure it fit like a dream! She is extremely talented at her craft and I am so lucky I found her! I cannot recommend her enough!!

Exceptional Alterations experience with Aksinia!

I recently had my wedding dress altered by Aksinia's alterations services, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. AG alterations was recommended by the bridal salon where I purchased my gown, and I'm so happy that I went with her!

Aksinia is truly talented, exhibiting a level of expertise and professionalism that truly set this service apart. She carefully listened to my concerns and preferences, ensuring that every alteration was tailored to my vision. The craftsmanship was impeccable; my dress fit me like a glove, accentuating my figure beautifully.

What impressed me the most was her attention to detail. The intricate lacework on my dress was preserved perfectly during alterations, showcasing the skill and care of the seamstresses involved. She also was able to show me multiple bustle options quickly to help me make a decision seamlessly. Moreover, the alterations were completed well ahead of schedule, giving me peace of mind and allowing for stress-free fittings.

The communication throughout the process was excellent. I was kept informed about the progress, and the staff was always available to answer my questions. Their helpful suggestions and creative solutions truly made the experience personalized and enjoyable. She even helped provide ideas for my second dress, which did not require any alterations, and creatively showed us in seconds different ways to present the straps on the dress.

On my wedding day, I felt absolutely stunning in my perfectly altered dress, and I received countless compliments. I cannot recommend Aksinia enough. If you want your wedding dress to be transformed into a masterpiece that reflects your vision and enhances your beauty, this is the place to go. Thank you to the amazing team for making my dream dress a reality!

Ag is so talented!

Aksinia has such incredible talent. She is very knowledgeable about her craft and takes the time to walk you through her suggestions for your dress. I was anxious about having my dress altered because it was form-fitting and had no lace or beading to hide sloppy alterations. After a single fitting with Aksinia, my dress fit like a GLOVE and looks like it was custom made for me. Not only that, but I had to have a lot altered (straps, bust, waist, hem, and I added a bustle) and the pricing was very affordable. Please, use AG Alterations! And listen to her, she is a wealth of knowledge on wedding dresses and the industry.

One thing to note is that she does not have the equipment to steam dresses, so you’ll need to get your dress professionally steamed elsewhere once it’s altered. She suggested Tiffany’s Bridal, and they only charged me $100 (I think it’s free if your dress is from there).
